1:49 pm
the administration to try and fix this? >> well, i think that they should think outside the box and instead of continuing to work with the same company that created this travesty which is cgi, you know, there are industry leaders in this world, many of them in this country that could fix this debacle. really, $600 million, 100 million which is software, that is unheard of. that is outrageous. get a team of 10 very bright programmers and a good manager and redesign and redo the whole thing t will be ready in six months at a cost of five million dollars. but as it stands now the architecture will not support what they're trying to do. it can not. adam: john mcafee, we'll stop there. i would tell you i think i would join the people who think you should be in charge of microsoft. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much. you flatter me, sir. ashley: from mr. mcafee to thousands of jellyfish taking down one of the world's largest reactors but now a plan to stop

ashley: beware of the jelly apocalypse. swarms of jellyfish are wreaking havoc among businesses around the world. sound like a b movie, doesn't it? just last week the world's largest boiling water reactor was shut down to due to swarms of jellyfish clogging the intake pipes. as a result, south korean scientists plan to sled them but our next guest says that is maybe not such a good idea. it could be disasterous.
1:54 pm
which have rebecca helm, brown university graduate student. rebecca, thank you so much. i was reading, you go on the internet and do research on jellyfish. i found this line. jellyfish are remarkably resilient. efficient breeders, voracious feeders and require little oxygen to survive. like a nightmare out of the movie alien. what is going on with the jellyfish? are they expanding by tremendous numbers or is this just a cycle we're seeing? >> that's a great question. what we know so far is that someplaces are being hit by increased jelly numbers but as far as we can tell there isn't a global increase in jellies. so it is certain areas of the world where we're seeing large impacts due to jellies interfering with power plants or clogging nets and fisheries or killing fish stock. they're localized and usually caused by different factors. ashley: all right, before we get to that, shredding them as peer
1:55 pm
the koreans may not be the best idea. why is that? >> yeah, that is a very interesting proposal they have come up with but many jellies hold eggs and sperm in their -@bodies and release them into e ocean. when you cut up thousands of jellyfish every hour, you're artificially releasing all of those eggs and sperm into the water, and you could get thousands more jellies the following year than what you had to deal with the year that you shredded everyone. ashley: this is like a video game, isn't it? chinese understand, rebecca. they like to eat jellyfish. not all the jellyfish, because some are obviously poisonous. is that perhaps an option? >> absolutely. in fact the chinese jelly fishery will seed wild jellyfish stocks up to 300 million juvenile jellyfish every year to increase the yield. so if we can move those fisheries to areas where jellies are a problem that is potential solution to this whole jellyfish nightmare some people are
1:56 pm
experiencing. ashley: what is to stop them based on the description of these creatures, if you like? how can we stop them? >> i think thateally, at this point it is more about being able to predict when and where they occur because they're very, very difficult to stop. and from an economic perspective, it is not really feasible to try and stop them, rather we eed to know when and where they will be an plan around them. ashhey: wow. interesting stuff. rebecca, we're already out of time. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you so much for having me. adam: kind of like teenagers. need to know when and where they will be. ashley: plan accordingly. adam: in the next hour we'll see, we're wondering if we'll see progress on the government shutdown stalemate. they're set to work through the weekend but still no deal in sight. ashley: talk about waste? we'll tell you the reason behind the united states postal service destroying these newly-made stamps. stick around.

2:00 pm
adam: it is 2:00. i'm adam shapiro. ashley: i'm ashley webster. well, markets adding to the gains of their best day of the year yesterday. while everybody's working for the weekend lawmakers in washington will be working through the weekend trying to hammer out a deal. byron york will be joining with us up sight to the gop strategy and why he is warning that talks could easily fall apart. adam: shutdown and shut out. trying to get into a life-saving clinical drug trial. forget it. we'll talk about the impact of the fda being closed with a accord today therapeutics ceo ron cohen in an he can exclusive. ashley: to and threw, why the netflix emmy-award-winning show, "house of cards" will fold after two season. >> time to check stocks with nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange. major averages are accually building on some gains, aren't they? >> couple of points away from
2:01 pm
the session highs on the dow jones industrials. so yes, they absolutely are. nasdaq up 3:00 quarters of a percent and, s&p 500, 1701. you notice that? 1701. the s&p 500 is hovering around one-month highs. we should note since the government shutdown october 1st the markets are actually to the upside. also a big deal worth noting. we got in some consumer sentiment numbers weaker than expected however it doesn't seem to bother the markets overall. as i noted we're on track for notable gains. for the week, names up more than 2% on the dow. proctor & gamble, wal-mart, johnson & johnson, united technologies and goldman sachs. good week for them. back to you. ashley: indeed. nicole, thank you so much. lawmakers are inching closer to a public deal over raising the debt ceiling after senate republicans met with president obama earlier today. rich edson, done a great job
2:02 pm
keeping up on alllof this. he is down on capitol with the very latest on this. >> ashley, you look at the house floor, senate floor, as well, they're in a bit after holding pattern to see if negotiations between the house republicans and white house produced anything. house negotiators were at the white house last evening talk with white house staff. house gop gaven a framework and not really a firm offer. they have given that to the white house to hear their thoughts on that. that is the first track that folks looking at in d.c. trying to perhaps think that might be a way forward on any type of debt deal. meanwhile senate republicans just left the white house. they said it was fairly in some respects disappointing meeting. they didn't really solve anything. the president wants revenue increases as part of any deal. meanwhile there is another plan or proposal in the u.s. senate pushed by senator susan collins. this is what she is floating out there. she is trying to get a number of democrats on board.
2:03 pm
this basically would fund the government for a year. it would have a short-term debt ceiling increase but repeal the medical device tax and also, put a antifraud verification in for obamacare credits. that is something that senator collins and a number of other republicans are pushing in the u.s. senate right now trying to get democrats on board. senator collins leaving the meeting in the white house, didn't sound like the president was all that thrilled with the offer. @here are a number of different tracks. house republicans in white house negotiations. you have discussions in the senate. catch fire if either of them do but at least they're talking. this is the level it seems the last 24 hours after the republicans put out the temporary proposal to temporarily raise the debt ceiling for about six weeks or so, that that really started the negotiations here in d.c. that isswhere we are, just waiting for some type of a breakthrough yet to come. >> you're on it as always. rich edson, thank you. adam: so the white house has now heard proposals from both senate and house republicans.
2:04 pm
will there be a breakthrough over the weekend? we want to bring in the washington exam i amer's chief political correspondent and fox news contributor byron york. thank you for joining us. you have pointed out, or other columnists as well, that heritage action has said they would not hold it against a republican who voted for a clean debt ceiling increase. how important is that? >> well it's a pretty big deal because it is orthodoxy in the republican party to not vote to increase the debt limit unless that deal is accompanied by some sort of spending cuts or other fiscal responsibility measures. so for the house to offer a clean debt limit increase, even if it is just for six weeks, requires them basically to go back on everything they have ever said about raising the debt limit. what happened was, i think, as you mentioned, heritage action, one of the very conservative activist groups that is playing a role in this, essentially told the house, we'll give you a pass on this one. we won't hold it against you if you do it. the reason heritage action wants
2:05 pm
to do that so they can keep up the fight for defunding or in some other way limiting obamacare. so there are some different agendas going back and forth because a lot of people in the house and senate who would like to solve both of these problems, the debt limit, plus the time. adam: seems if we have, believe it or not an opportunity right now. i don't know if it should bring back a bowles-simpson or the grand bargain that john boehner and the president failed to deliver not too long ago. we have the opportunity to maybe address the big issues. is anybody talking about that or are we looking shortsighted, just one year forward? >> well they are. the republicans are thinking about a couple of tracks of negotiations. one, if they did agree to raise the debt ceiling, they would want to see negotiations, a, on the future of the debt ceiling and maybe long term entitlement reforms to deal with long-term debt, and b, negotiations about
2:06 pm
spending for 2014 which is basically what led to the shutdown. they would want to see both of those but we don't know if the president is going to agree to that at all. he has said a whole lot of times leading up to this that he wants the government to be opened and the debt limit increased before he sits down and talks. well it appears the republicans have caved on that debt limit thing. they're about to offer just a clean debt limit increase but they sttll say they want some results, before they open the government up. adam: so two questions, this is a two-part question. first, are we witnessing a fight within the republican party between the very conservative tea party members and the more mainstream members of the republican party? the sscond part is, could the president realistically deliver entitlement reform? or would the left ink wing of the democratic party say, no way and just stop that in its tracks? >> well, the first thing we are really looking at a fight within the republican party. believe me there are people in the ouse, republicans who
2:07 pm
didn't want any of this to happen. they would have been happy to sign some sort of a continuing resolution that kept the government open. so there have been divisions in the house republican conference all along. as far as entitlement reform is concerned, the president actually signed on to a few smaller things, what everybody adjustments in some of the entitlement programs and i think what you'd see is the senate and house republicans go to the president with the things that he already has endorsed and see if he would agree to them. adam: as i wrap up with you, byron, i keep hearing analysts come on the fox business network saying this will absolutely, there will not be a default. there will not be a problem. there will be a deal. but when you lay it out in the terms of the split within the republicans and the inability of the president to get real kind of entitlement reform that everyone has talked in of the pa that we truly need, seems to me in six weeks, if that is the debt ceiling raise we're moving
2:08 pm
to, that in six weeks we then are right back here with no hope in sight. >> i have to tell you, i did not think there was going to be a shutdown so take this with a grain of salt. it does appear, john boehner, speaker of the house, really, really does not want to blow through a debt ceiling, does not want default of any sort and he would be willing to a pass a debt ceiling increase with democratic votes if he had to. so, my sense is, it will not happen simply because boehner has decided that he will not be a part of blowing through a debt limit. adam: byron york of the "washington examiner", thanks for joining us on markets now. >> thank you. >> two of the nation's banking giants out with third quarter earnings today. wells fargo posting a record profit but a steep drop in mort applications and legal woes weighing on jpmorgan. the bank reporting its first quarterly loss under ceo jamie dimon. here to dig deeper into the
2:09 pm
reports, stearn agee analyst. tom, i hope you can hear me. we'll plow on regardless. >> no problem. ashley: what was your takeaway? revenue down, those litigation costs into the billions seem to be up. >> right, certainly the headline today was the big legal charge they took, a very hefty 9.3 billion. that being said, the fact that the legal is really weighed on the stock for the past several weeks if you will i think investors walk away postively from this is the fact that they disclosed they have a $23 billion reserve and it seems like while difficult to call the inflection point in terms of the legal liabilities that they have it is giving investors comfort they're setting up a nice platform for much higher earnings going into 14 and 15 relative to where we are today. so i think that is kind of the positive reaction we're seeing a little bit today in the stock, that has taken a the billion dollars charge. that is not chump change --
2:10 pm
$9 billion. ashley: is there anymore litigation out there? they can't seem to get out from under the microscope and isn't this taking away from the business it is meant to be doing? >> i would argue if you really, look through the umbers this quarter, the fact that the company was able to absorb a $9 billion hit in the quarter if you will and the fact that, you know, you're still seeing ongoing improvement in terms of the underlying business, the tremendous earnings power that those businesses show and the fact that they're still, you know, speaking postively about the prospect for returning capital to shareholders next year, i think you know, at the end of the day, while the legal expenses and legal liability is not going away by any means, i think you can take comfort in the fact that you have a $23 billion nest egg sitting there which should hopefully absorb a fair amount of the liabilities that they are aware of today. ashley: all right. let's turn to wells fargo. obviously mortgage industry is
2:11 pm
huge to this bank. what is your takeaway from their report? >> yeah. you know, similar to jpmorgan. the mortgage banking is really getting hit hard, this particular quarter. we'll see this theme throughout the course of the bank earnings, over the course of the next couple weeks for sure. that being said, while the, the mortgage was down meaningfully at wells which is quite reliant on the revenue stream as you mentioned, you have to, you know, take, you know, acknowledge the fact that many of their core businesses did quite well in terms of they continue to grow loans. they continue to grow deposits. you know, their spread income is holding up reasonably well and you know, at the end of the day this company is still one of the most profitable companies out there, even taking away from how their performance in the mortgage banking unit. ashley: right the quickly, todd, next week bank of america, citigroup, morgan stanley, goldman sachs, what are you
2:12 pm
expecting? >> it's going to be a very tough road next week, that's for sure. not only do we have the weakness in the mortgage that we know is going to, you know, translate through the numbers, but you're not going to see theestrength in capital markets, investment banking from those, from particularly citigroup and bank of america that you saw today with jpmorgan. but nonetheless a very tough road next week for everybody. ashley: we'll be following every step of the way. todd, of stearn agee, glad you could hear us and we could hear you. thank you very much. >> thank you. ashley: adam: off the hook. toyota wins big in sudden unintended acceleration court case. the impact on future cases for all the automakers. ashley: as we do at this time every day, look how oil is trading today down to a weekly loss, down to 101.57 a barrel. international energy agency warns the u.s. fiscal crisis

ashley: it is quarter past the hour. time to check these markets. nicole petallides as always on the floor of the new york stock exchange, keeping tabs on every movement. nicole, looking at two stocks getting a boost from analyst upgrade today. >> that's right. we don't miss a trick. we have to look at some of the names looking at safeway and chipolte doing so well. safeway up 7%. we should talk about third quarter sales, identical sales numbers, that was good news there. here is another big news pertaining to safeway, the dominic's chain in chicago has been a noticeable drag. they say they are shutting chicago, leaving the chicago market by early next year an continuing to narrow their focus. meantime, all the analysts jumping on board raising they're targets. stock at a 52-week high. there is chipolte doing so well, janney raising it to a buy. fair value target of 525.
2:17 pm
they also not only like the near term sales potential they're seeing but also the fact that chipolte has the breakfast menu potential. we'll see whether or not they expand upon that in the coming months. back to you. ashley: custom-made burritos. that is all i will say. nicole, thanks very much. we'll be back with you at the bottom of the hour. adam: a jury found toyota motor corporation not liable for the death after woman when her camry apparently accelerated and crashed despite her efforts to stop. the outcome could impact future cases toyota faces. jo ling kent is here with the latest on this. and, jo, after five days of deliberation the jury cleared toyota's name, right? >> that's right they cleared their name in the wrongful death suit. toyota is calling victory a bellwether case for what they hope is to come. the asked in 2009 killed, 66-year-old now rico uno after her camry was hit by a elderly driver who ran a stop sign.
2:18 pm
uno's family was seeking $20 million of damages arguing that toyota could have prevented the crash installing a break override system found in other vehicles. toyota defended its vehicles after the verdict came out saying we believe this verdict sets a significance benchmark by helping to confirm toyota vehicles are safe with or without brake override, unquote. they believe the, tolling the press we were telling how the brakes could fail without a brake override system. we found chinks in toyota's armor. i think the next case will be a winner. there are many cases ahead for toyota. they face 80 similar lawsuits filed in state court including a case that began in oklahoma this week. adam. adam: jo ling kent, thank you very much. >> sure. adam: consumer confidence at 2008 levels means no retail therapy after that. the shutdown and looks like

>> at 23 minutes past the hour i'm arthel neville with your fox news minute. a senior u.s. official has confirmed that the air force is firing the two-star general in charge of all of its nuclear missiles. major general michael carey is being removed for what is called loss of trust and confidence in his leadership. the exact reason was not immediately clear. despite the government shutdown some national parks could soon reopen. the obama administration says it will allow states to use their own money to reopen them. utah will pay more than $1.5 million to open its parks and monuments for the next 10 days. they could be fully open by tomorrow. in sports the detroit tigers will face the boston red sox in the american league championship series after eliminating the oakland athletics last night. the national league championship
2:24 pm
between st. louis and los angeles begins tonight. those are the news headlines on the fox business network. get you back to adam. adam: arthel, i would love to talk baseball but the first story about the loss of trusted in confidence of general in charges of nuclear missiles is worrisome. i think i will say thank you anyway. >> you're you're welcome. adam: see you later. the shutdown is causing big problems for the economy, retail taking a big hit with consumer confidence at its lowest level since the lehman crisis in 2008. what is the outlook seriously, the outlook for retail sales? for more on this we are joined by marshal cohen, chief industrial analyst at the npd group. we'll charge with the fact that the national retail federation was very optimistic, 3.9% growth for the holiday but they actually said a prolonged government shutdown would have a negative impact and this is many abouting a prolonged government shutdown. can anyone say how big of an impact? >> hard to judge just yet. the real key will be the debt
2:25 pm
crisis. if that ceiling, if it happens and interest rates start to rise, that is when consumers will really start to pull back. but in the interim, the amount of consumers who haven't received a paycheck even though most are furloughed and will get paid, the key they're starting stopping to spend on impulse items. as we get close to holiday impulse play as huge role. on average 2% of all holiday purchases come from impulse. in other words i might get awe sweater for holiday, wow, what a great deal. i will buy one for myself too. that impulse drives growth for holiday. adam: impulse explains why people have some tacky sweaters with reindeer that they return, 27% is impulse. get back to the nature i think consumer sentiment has fallen three months in a row. that will start showing up in the sales figures. what are we expecting? i mean just the consumer already pulled back. how much more than they pull back? >> they will not pull back that much more.
2:26 pm
we're buying mostly on necessities and remen meshment. -- replenishment. basically we're buying what we need. unless there is a great deal that will incentivize consumers to spend on additional items. we're seeing the consumer pull back. keep in mind the consumer is driving economy ever since the recession kicked in and we got into recovery mode. now the government is making it harder for us to get into that mind set. adam: we got numbers from the federal reserve on use of credit and revolving credit card use is retracting that would be troubling as we head into the holiday season. >> as we look and raid the tea leaves we're beginning to see all starting, what we call distractions are percolating all at wrong time. this government shutdown couldn't happen at any worse time. we've seen this movie before. we went right into holiday last year with a budget crisis. it took until right after the holiday to actually get a resolution or the bandaid taken care of. so we're up against the same kind of issues that we had last
2:27 pm
year, but this year it's a little bit bigger and a little bit more conscious in the consumer's mind. adam: let me ask a question from the standpoint of an investor who might decide choosing macy's's or other consumer stocks. we're going into a shortened holiday season. black friday, is it going to be the entire month essentially? will we have so many discounts there will be no earnings for the retailers? their margins will be society? -@>> there's good news. the good news is that several of the retailers are prepared for this. this is what i call forward, basically forward black friday and what that means is, it is going to be earlier as well as later. and what i'm really trying to tell you is that look for the black friday deals to start well before black friday, well before thanksgiving day, even before tuesday. look for some retailers to offer them on the weekend before. adam: let me ask you. we've seen wal-mart has actually cut some of their orders. they're trying to cut their inventories. that seems like they're behind the eight ball and they're the
2:28 pm
biggest retailer out there. >> retailers are prepared for this and what they're really doing they recognize that it is really going to take the deal to get the consumer to buy during holiday time so they have recognized that they have to not only compete with other retailers but also online. online is a threat over the last few years to the traditional retailers. so they're very competitive. there is a lot of built-in opportunity and margin there for retail years let me wrap up on this. i will go from the assumption we do get a debt ceiling increase and the checks can go out to senior citizens and all the other people who need those fund but when you look at retail who are going to be the big winners from, of the brick-and-mortar traditional retailers driving customers to their websites? >> what i'm looking at are retailers who are prepared to really drive the consumer to online and in stores. adam: wal-mart, macy's? >> look for jcpenney, look for macy's, wal-mart all to be very aggressive to get consumers to engage and engauge early for
2:29 pm
holiday and then even afterr3 thanksgiving look for the traditional lull to be filled with plenty of deals. adam: marshall, thank you for joining us. ashley, throw it back to you. ashley: thank you, shut down and shut out. clinical drug trials are feeling the impact of the government shutdown. coming up next my exclusive interview of acorda therapeutiis. an early south dakota blizzard are leaving ranchers out in he cold with many prepared to lose their entile cattle herd. jeff flock with the impact on investors. as we head to break, look at winners and losers on the s&p.

a a look at the dow, nicole petallides at stock exchange. the dow and s&p on track to end the week high chair, that sounds good. >> snapped a losing streak we have been seeing, it shows the market has a lot of resiliency despite a partial government shutdown that has everyone worried. not worry enough that the are selling off some of the dow is up right now, of 93 points. and taking a look here at suntrust, and suntrust is up 1/4% a $1 billion for federal obligations of mortgage violations,.2, this is mortgage related cases with government

agencies and the company itself is of relief to actually have this uncertainty that played the company, this is what they're paying and move on so we seeing stock moved to the upside. ashley: thank you very much. no new drugs, that could happen if this government shhtdown drags on. with the fda staff furloughed, clinical trials, all are in jeopardy. joining me for an exclusive interview, the president and ceo dr. ron cohen, thank you for being here. this is one of these situations, and someone like yourself. and this is a big impact. will that explain how? >> we develop innovative drugs, a pill that allows people with multiple sclerosis to what
2:35 pm
better. and take us 15 years to do that. a fully functioning at the. and they are not except the core applications for drug approvals. all the people with cancers and multiple sclerosis, heart disease, new medications are going to have to wait much longer. ashley: you say if they get their act together and get this moving it is manageable. and create a little bit of a back log. we are trying to get the same drug into the clinic to look at other conditions. and to come to agreements, to the extent they postpone these -pmeetings or don't have staff hold them, we are on hold and cannot begin our clinical
2:36 pm
trials. ashley: any drugs need to be in this process? >> that is one of them for people who have strokes. ashley: that is insane. is there a point here if they can get this done in the next two or three daas it will be ok but if it goes on another week or longer that is when you start to worry? >> the longer it goes out it is worse than that. much of the innovation is taking place at these small startup companies. we have 10 to 15 years. there is uncertainty in the process and investoos away and companies don't survive and the drugs never make it to market. ashley: that is why we are talking about it today. when you talk about this fda process it is incredibly laboriously some would argue it needs to be because you need to
2:37 pm
make sure these drugs are safe. don't know if you can do that. should these new medicines come to market faster? >> they should. the good news is the fda has recognized that. until very recently it is absolutely the case the process was terribly laborious more so than it needed to be but the fda has streamlined a lot of processes and have a new system called breakthrough drugs, another one called accelerated approval where they take the most promising drugs save for cancers or neurological disease and give them special consideration so you can get them to market faster and then the companies who make them have to commit to studying them further after they get to market so that if the initial promise doesn't turn out than they must come off of the market but at least it gets people the drugs quickly with reasonable assurance of safety and efficacy. ashley: that is a step forward. we wish you the best of luck and hopefully you get this shutdown shutdown so people can benefit. >> let's hope so.
2:38 pm
ashley: thank you for being here. there is a good chance you didn't know this happened but ranchers in the plains states are dealing with a record-setting snowstorm that hit late last week and over the weekend. jeff flock joins us from chicago to talk about why the storm is having a big impact on the cattle business. >> and feeder cattle and l that are up, to a record high. take a look at the past five years of feeder cattle, take a look at that, 35 year chart. and in the 90s we had feeder cattle. and up perfect form of events.
2:39 pm
and we could go, 30 or 60, they're still buried in snow, really takes a bite of out of the herd out there and by the way, live cattle, put the latest prices which are up again. the cattle herd at ts lowest level, smallest cattle herd in the u.s. since the tion of harr in 1952. feeder cattle versus live cattle, feeders of the ones between cavs and slaughter. maybeeyou ought to call them dead cattle but they are called live cattle. we have a lot of dead cattle in south dakota and that was a real problem out there, not only get rid of them, and support for is that. and you call them up in washington and they say sorry. not a good time. ashley: not indeed.
